That schematic is basically the same as what I do. You can add a 230v transformer instead of using the neutral and one phase. Most machines I have worked on have those, but I have done it the way you are showing.
The other question is the grounding of the screens of the analog, encoder, and step/dir signals. These should be connected to earth at one end and the other left unconnected. Not sure if it really makes a difference which end....
